ABSTRACT:
A plug for the sealing closure of an opening in a sheet includes an integral body including a cap portion having an annular shirt portion and a cover portion connected to one end of the shirt portion. The body further includes a flange portion extending obliquely outwardly and downwardly and an annular sealing surface approximately at the same level as the connection of the cover portion to the shirt portion and below the connection of the flange portion. The plug body can be urged into the opening by an axial pressure. An outward pivoting of the flange portion upon insertion of the plug body into the opening exerts a radial expansion force and/or a pivoting force on the sealing surface so that the body's material in the area of the sealing surface is formed against the other side of the sheet.
